Yesterday afternoon at 4 p.m., I was at Wangyueju.

"Did Qingzhu say anything else?" Nanxiang asked Kikuhei.

"Your Majesty! Qingzhu only said thank you to your Majesty!" Kikuhei said as he handed an envelope to Nanxiang.

Nanxiang frowned slightly, feeling more and more that something might be about to happen.

Perhaps this harem is about to face turmoil again.

She took the envelope from Kikuhei's hand and quickly opened it. On it was written extremely elegant and graceful small characters.

"Madam Shupin, you said that you would help me deal with the Xiang family's affairs. I was very touched. But I am Qingzhu, a humble maid. I cannot bear to see you in danger because of me..."

Nanxiang couldn't help but be moved when she read Qingzhu's letter.

The last time she met Qingzhu, she wanted to know the mastermind behind the frame-up of the Xiang family, and promised that if Qingzhu told her, she would help him get rid of the Xiang family.

But Qingzhu’s choice now left her a little confused.

Qingzhu did not tell her the mastermind behind this and wrote the letter only to express her gratitude.

Either she thought of a better way, or the person behind the scenes helped her again.

Then she looked at the beautiful handwriting on the paper and sighed repeatedly.

"She has such beautiful handwriting. I believe she has been to a private school. She is an educated woman. But things in this world are beyond our control. What a pity!"

"Your Majesty, why are you sighing? But Qingzhu is willing to tell you?" Juping asked.

"Even if she didn't tell me, I already know who it is." Nanxiang smiled lightly.

……

This is Zhongcui Palace.

When Gu Junshen arrived, he saw Xiang lying on the floor, covered with a white cloth.

He didn't understand why Xiang was so confused that he actually hanged himself.

How big of a blow was this?

It should be noted that he only confined Xiang to Zhongcui Palace and did not allow her to move around freely. Her daily meals were supplied on time.

Except that she cannot leave Zhongcui Palace, she is no different from other concubines.

He had sent people to investigate the last time the princess was poisoned, but there had been no real progress.

This also shows that Xiang's maid Qingzhu was willing to frame her, and it is not clear whether Ding had done anything to hurt her.

But there is no point in discussing these things now.

He said to the maid who was in charge of Zhongcui Palace, "Did Xiang promise to say anything last night?"

The maid in charge had a pale face and her eyes were obviously red. She said in a panic, "I really don't know. The young lady also ate and went to bed on time last night. But when I came to deliver breakfast at noon, the young lady had already hanged herself on the white silk..."

As the daughter of the current prime minister, no one dared to offend Xiang even though she had been imprisoned in Zhongcui Palace by the emperor.

If you accidentally offend them, you might be retaliated against by your family and killed.

But now Xiang has hanged herself. What kind of punishment can Xiang give to palace maids like them for failing to keep watch over her properly?

It's nothing more than execution.

Gu Junshen frowned even deeper when he heard this.

They came to Xiang's body and lifted the white cloth with a wooden stick, and saw that his face was purple and black and bloated.

His eyes were wide open as he stared ahead, as if he regretted before dying, but it was too late.

"Your Majesty! The holy body is damaged!" Liu Sheng on the side reminded.

He didn't expect Gu Junshen to lift the white cloth to take a look. How could the emperor touch such a filthy thing?

Gu Junshen sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in his tone.

"Have you ever carefully examined Xiang's body to see if he has any other injuries?"

"Your Majesty! Xiang Da Ying is the daughter of the Prime Minister after all, we dare not act rashly." Liu Sheng said with a wry smile.

Who doesn’t know the most taboo people in the harem today?

Song Nanxiang of Wangyueju is the emperor's favorite and cannot be offended. Xiang of Zhongcui Palace is the son of the prime minister and has a strange personality and cannot be easily offended...

"What a waste! Can you check if Xiang has any other wounds on her body?" Gu Junshen casually pointed at the palace maid who was kneeling beside him with a desperate look on her face.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

The maid in charge had already prepared herself to be executed by the Xiang family or the emperor. If she could do something for the emperor before she died, she might be able to keep her body intact.

Then the maid in charge began to grope Xiang's body.

The palace maids and eunuchs around turned their heads away consciously when they saw this.

"Liu Sheng, take a few people to check Xiang's bedroom!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

Liu Sheng knelt down, bowed and said something, then brought several eunuchs to Xiang's bedroom.

At this time, there was a long white silk hanging on the beam above the bedroom, and there was a fallen stool under the white silk.

The tools are clearly placed in a posture that suggests suicide by hanging.

Liu Sheng took a look and started searching the bedroom.

Half an hour later, the maid outside covered the white cloth again, knelt in front of Gu Junshen and said, "Your Majesty! No wounds were found on Xiang Da Ying's body, only obvious marks of strangulation were found on his neck!"

"I know." Gu Junshen sighed slightly, as if he had expected it.

……

Wangyue lives in the inner hall.

Caiyun came over in a hurry, breathing slightly.

"Your Majesty! I have something important to report!"

Caiyun swallowed hard.

On her way to the Imperial Household Department to collect this month's salary, she heard the news that Xiang had committed suicide, so she hurried over to tell Nanxiang.

Nanxiang looked at the anxious Caiyun and asked, "What happened again?"

Su's miscarriage was a big deal, what else could happen now?

"Xiang agreed to hang himself!" Caiyun said in a heavy voice, glancing at Nanxiang with a slight panic in her eyes.

She had just learned about Su's miscarriage yesterday, then a eunuch fell into a well and drowned, and now she heard about Xiang's suicide. She couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the palace.

This palace is more dangerous than the Song Mansion, and people may die at any time.

"How could that be?" Nan Xiang was shocked when she heard that.

No wonder Qingzhu no longer needed her help. It turned out that she already had a better helper, and his methods were more ruthless and direct.

She couldn't help but clench her fists. She was in such a precarious situation in the deep palace.

I thought I would be able to live a peaceful life after being promoted to the position of concubine, but unexpectedly, things happened one after another after just a few days.

Perhaps from the moment Song Wanru entered the palace, the harem became increasingly restless.

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Liu Sheng searched in Xiang's bedroom and finally found a complete envelope in the drawer in front of Xiang's dressing table.

It says "Xiang's last work"

Liu Sheng was slightly surprised when he saw this and immediately took it to Gu Junshen.

"Your Majesty! I found a suicide note that Xiang promised to leave behind."

Upon hearing this, Gu Junshen was puzzled. Was Xiang determined to hang himself?

With a look of disbelief on his face, he took the letter from Liu Sheng and quickly flipped through it.

"Your Majesty! I know that I have sinned deeply and I have no face to see you. In the past, out of jealousy, I killed the dragon offspring in Su's belly. This was my own selfish thought and I made a big mistake. Now I have come to my senses and regret it deeply. I feel that my sins are so serious that it is difficult to redeem myself..."
